Welcome to the neighborhood.

We build a better Oakland and help neighbors thrive.

Community advocacy and organizing

For over 40 years, OPDC has supported Oakland residents to secure safe and affordable housing, connect with resources and services to expand opportunities, improve their quality of life, and strengthen community.

Affordable Rental Housing

OPDC owns and manages a portfolio of 100 apartments in South and West Oakland, including Oakland Affordable Living, which was recognized for a 2019 Social Equity in Design Award by American Institute of Architects (AIA) Pittsburgh.

Planning and Design Review

We communicate with the public about development proposals and host public meetings to support community input in neighborhood investments.

Oakland Community Land Trust

OPDC administers the Oakland CLT, a program that develops homes for homeownership and ensures long-term affordability in the Oakland housing market.
